The Cue-RMS quote builder: a school ball quote grouped into lighting and audio, each line showing its rate, duration factor, discount and sell price, with equipment, costs, crew, tax and a benchmark against similar jobs totalled along the bottom.The Cue-RMS quote builder: a school ball quote grouped into lighting and audio, each line showing its rate, duration factor, discount and sell price, with equipment, costs, crew, tax and a benchmark against similar jobs totalled along the bottom.

A quote from a spreadsheet is a guess about margin.

The gear has a cost, the crew has a cost and the sub-hire has a cost, and none of it sits beside the sell price until the job is over. Long hires get billed by the calendar day or discounted by feel. Cue-RMS works the numbers out as you add each line.

How a quote comes together.

  1. Q1

    Cost view, line by line

    Switch to Cost view for cost, factor, discount, sell and margin on every line and every group. A line under 25% margin is flagged.

  2. Q2

    Hire length, priced properly

    The standard factor curve is built in: two days bill 1.5 times the day rate, three days bill twice it. Set your own curve, or override it on a job or a line.

  3. Q3

    Discounts with limits

    Every line discount carries a reason. Each person has a discount ceiling, and anything above it is refused, for people and AI agents alike.

  4. Q4

    Option A, option B

    Build an LED wall and a projection package as separate options on one job. Only the option you select is priced and sent to the client.

  5. Q5

    Compared with your own jobs

    In Cost view the totals bar compares the quote with the median of your past quotes for the same kind of event.

  6. Q6

    Signed online

    Clients open the quote from a link on any device, sign with a finger or a mouse, or ask for changes. The signature is tied to that exact version.

One line, worked through.

Twelve moving heads on a four-day hire: the day rate, the four-day factor and a 10% discount, worked out by the same pricing engine that prices every quote in Cue-RMS.

12 at $45 a day, times the 4-day factor of 2.5, less 10% discount, sells for $1,215.

A line from the quote above: 12 Martin MAC Aura XB on a 4-day hire.
Days on hire, and what each length bills as a multiple of the day rate.

Questions.

Can clients sign a quote online?
Yes. The client opens the quote from a link, with no account, and signs with a finger or a mouse. They can send a change request from the same page. The acceptance is recorded against that exact version of the quote.
How are quotes sent?
From Cue-RMS, in your company's name, with replies going to your address. The email carries a link to the client's page for the quote. You can print or save a PDF from the browser whenever you need one.
Does a quote hold stock?
No. Quotes never hold stock, and the first job confirmed gets it. Each line shows what is free for the dates, and a short line is marked with how many are missing.
What happens when a quote changes after it is sent?
Issuing freezes the document with a version number, the letterhead, the terms and who issued it. Issue again after a change and the client sees the new version, with the earlier ones kept.
